An hour later, Leng Feng came out of the imperial study and disappeared into the endless rooftops in the cover of night.
He rushed all the way, but before he left the palace, he was blocked by a dark shadow in front of him.
The cold wind was forced to stop.
Both were dressed in black, their faces covered with black scarves, leaving only their eyes exposed. However, the moment their eyes met, they recognized each other.
"Leng Feng?" Leng Zhu's eyes were filled with disappointment and disbelief: "It's really you! Why did you betray your master?"
"Get out of the way!" Leng Feng shouted expressionlessly.
"No!" Leng Zhu tightened the sword in his hand: "If you don't explain clearly, don't even think about leaving!"
Leng Feng's brows flashed with impatience: "I am your Majesty's man, how can I talk about betrayal?"
"Well, I really misjudged you! It turns out you've always been a spy sent by His Majesty to be with the Master!"
"What spy?" Leng Feng's eyes were filled with hatred. "If Fu Jiuli had not harbored any rebellious intentions and had loyally served the emperor his entire life, how could I have betrayed him?"
Leng Zhu's eyes were icy. "You've always been by the master's side, don't you know? When did the master start plotting rebellion? It's obvious that His Majesty can't tolerate him!"
"Ha!" Leng Feng sneered, "If he didn't have the intention of treason, he should have followed the proper rules when he entered the palace! As a man, he became the head of the eunuchs, and you say he doesn't have the intention of treason?"
Leng Zhu was so angry that he tightened the sword in his hand again and again, forcing himself to calm down and explain word by word: "The master doesn't know!"
"Haha! Look at what you're saying. Is Fu Jiuli really a fool? He doesn't even know if he's a man?"
Leng Zhu couldn't help it any longer. He drew his sword and said, "You are speaking foul language and committing treason. I must teach you a lesson on behalf of my master today!"
Leng Feng also drew his sword, and the two men collided and faced each other in an instant.
However, the two men were equally strong, and after more than a hundred rounds, the winner was still undecided.
Leng Feng parried Leng Zhu away with a sword. "Instead of wasting time trying to deal with me, you might as well leave now before His Majesty remembers that you're Fu Jiuli's man. Once His Majesty is free, you'll be dead without a burial place!"
Leng Zhu, however, brandished his sword again and rushed forward: "I have been ordered to protect the Sixth Prince's safety. Even if I die, what do I fear? But you, betraying your master, deserve death!"
"Idiot!" Leng Feng cursed angrily.
He was in a hurry to lead the Black Armored Guards to chase Fu Jiuli, but when he saw that they couldn't get away for a while, his eyes flashed and a row of silver needles shot out from his sleeves.
Leng Zhu's pupils shrank as he hurriedly dodged, but he was a step too late. Three silver needles pierced his left arm. He felt his arm go numb, and then his whole body lost strength and he fell onto the glazed tiles on the roof.
He tried to stand up: "Leng Feng, you are despicable!"
Leng Feng ignored him and jumped up to leave.
Leng Zhu watched Leng Feng disappear and shouted at his back, "Leng Yue is also the master's person. Do you not care about Leng Yue anymore?"
Leng Feng paused when he heard this, but only for a moment. He leaped up and disappeared outside the palace wall in the blink of an eye.

Outside the city, four strong horses were pulling a carriage, galloping at a high speed, raising a cloud of dust.
Hundreds of knights in black clothes rode their horses and surrounded the carriage in front and behind, protecting it tightly in the middle.
Although the carriage was covered with thick carpets and soft cushions, Shen Nanxing, who was sleeping in Fu Jiuli's arms, was still woken up by the bumpy ride.
She frowned slightly and opened her eyes, meeting the man's concerned gaze.
"Ma'am, are you feeling unwell?"
Shen Nanxing glanced around, struggled to sit up, lifted the car curtain and looked out, and immediately understood his current situation.
She hurriedly grabbed Fu Jiuli's collar and said, "What's going on? Didn't we agree to resign at dawn? Why do we have to resign in the middle of the night?"
Fu Jiuli pulled her into his arms and explained, "Leng Feng rebelled, and His Majesty knew in advance that I wasn't a eunuch, so he had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure, causing Madam to suffer..."
Shen Nanxing's eyes flashed with shock. "I'm fine, but...isn't Leng Feng your confidant? Why would he suddenly betray me?"
A hint of coldness flashed in Fu Jiuli's eyes. "The reason for his rebellion is still unclear, but the most urgent task right now is to escape His Majesty's pursuit and reach a safe place."
"Then are we still going to Southern Xinjiang as planned? Since Leng Feng has rebelled, His Majesty must have known our plan. If we still go to Southern Xinjiang..."
Fu Jiuli: "Not going to Southern Xinjiang, going to Xining."
"But Xining has been harassing North Vietnam because they lost their second prince there. If we go to Xining..."
Fu Jiuli kissed the top of her head, looked at her and said, "Madam, I'm sorry. I've hidden something from you..."
"What?" Shen Nanxing looked at him in confusion.
"I am the second prince who was lost in Xining."
Shen Nanxing: “???”
"Ahem..." Fu Jiuli didn't dare to look her in the eye: "Well, because you, Madam, have a grudge against Xining, I'm afraid..."
After Shen Nanxing was shocked, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Are you afraid that I will vent my anger on you?"
"Hmm." Fu Jiuli hummed softly, her body tensing up. "Can you...?"
It was not difficult to hear the nervousness in the stuttering voice.
Shen Nanxing had never seen him like this before, and found it funny, so she deliberately kept a straight face and said nothing.
Fu Jiuli was indeed anxious: "Madam... Madam, I know that General Yao Zhang from Xining injured you. When I return to Xining, I will definitely avenge you!"
Shen Nanxing still didn't speak or look at him.
Fu Jiuli's eyes were filled with pleading. He held up his wife's face pitifully and said, "Madam~"
Shen Nanxing finally couldn't hold back his laughter.
Fu Jiuli breathed a sigh of relief: "Madam, you are not angry with me anymore?"
Shen Nanxing stopped laughing, looked at him seriously and said, "We met on the battlefield, we are upright and each serves his own master. Yao Zhang is a man of character and a good opponent. I admire him very much..."
Fu Jiuli saw that there was not only no hatred in his wife's eyes, but also a hint of nostalgia. His face suddenly darkened: "No, no matter what, he hurt my wife, so he should pay the price!"
Shen Nanxing: “…” She couldn’t talk to this jealous guy.
"Madam..." Fu Jiuli saw that Madam seemed a little unhappy and was about to say a few more words to comfort her.
Then he heard Leng Ye's voice outside: "Master, someone is blocking the road ahead!"
Fu Jiuli's face darkened: "How many people are there?"
Leng Ye: “One person.”
